Promptly springing into action, the Drugs Control Officer, Gurdaspur-II along with his team went on the spot. The inspection of the Medical Store unearthed nearly 8000 tablets and capsules containing tramadol, diphenoxylate and alprazolam. The drugs were seized as the shop owner failed to produce the purchase record of the drugs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said that it is a very positive sign that people have come forward to inform about the black sheep.
